I am not convinced that an app like that would share potential pregnancy data with ad networks, if there’s even such a channel to begin with. It would be good to have the app’s name, and investigate if this is reproducible.
Without that we’re just looking at very complex ad networks/algorithms and trying to reason about them without seeing thousands of signals they might be seeing. For example, age and other interests based on browsing history would’ve triggered this, too.

It's one of the "big events" that marketers sometimes pay $10s-$100s for a jump on competitors, along with weddings, buying a house, & going to college. It's one of the few windows in a person's life where they 1) are about to spend a bunch of money on products they have no/little prior opinion on, and 2) are willing to substantially change previous habitual behaviors, including where to shop.
